the 3 and Me

This exciting story is from the pen of a real life pilot
and it is an account of the life of
a furloughed "non-sched" airline pilot
who felt compelled to buy a DC-3
in a desperate attempt to create job security,
and thereby save his rocky marriage.
It is unique, primarily,
in how a machine, this DC-3 airplane,
became so deeply engrained within
the daily lives of people it touched.
as it has for over 60+ years throughout the world

It is a tale in tribute to the flawless performance and reliability
of a magnificent machine

An insiders view of how This "non-sked"operation
raised havoc for America’s government subsidized airline industry,
The same Airline Industry who through dirty politics
managed to force the government to rewrite air rules
Thus dealing the death blow to a colorful era
in American aviation.
